My thoughts today are with family and friends of OE David Young (KES 1955-62). A true gentleman and one of the great Old Edwardians of his generation, he prized his education at KES and devoted himself to giving back to the School. I was proud to consider myself his friend.

What a beautiful Shakespeare’s parade we had last Saturday! Did you know that we have a local history corner that’s perfect for history buffs and curious cats alike? It’s conveniently located inside the cube, right next to the chairs, for easy browsing.

Congratulations to the whole @Edwards_Boys company for transporting us through the wood and telling their tales in The Maid’s Metamorphosis. Zach & Dylan directed the music with sensitivity, Callum & Cameron were a hilarious double act and Britten’s The Cuckoo! worked so well.

[K.E.S. Headmaster @KES_Headmaster]

Terrific performances, exceptional stagecraft and an enchanting musical score, The Maydes Metamorphosis is an utter triumph. Huge congratulations to everyone involved.

Do you enjoy singing carols?

Towards the end of term we hold many carol concerts and services giving plenty of opportunities to join in this festive tradition.
